    A question: what exactly are these LBR (library?) files?

See MICRO:LU300.DOC

    Is there some special tool that must be employed to pry them open
    (like "ar" on UNIX for object libraries)?  Is that tool available
    on Simtel-20?

Yes, get MICRO:LU300.COM

    Is there a version of it runs under UNIX?

No, not a completely compatible one.  The closest thing is
MICRO:LAR.C

    I've been keeping a small public database of messages relating to
    the Simtel library culled from info-cpm.  These messages include
    comprehensive documents from you and a few other people that
    describe how to make access to Simtel-20 and what the various
    file types are, but sadly, I cannot find any description of LBR
    files among them.

A complete description of the official file structure of .LBRs is in
MICRO:LUDEF5.DOC.
